If you're ever in need of a pumpkin, Christmas tree, fresh picked flowers, kettle corn or some good old-fashioned entertainment for kids, then look no further. Dewberry Farm in Brookshire, TX is the place to go!

Since I'm pretty new to the Katy area, I'm still discovering new places all the time. When I decided I wanted to do a Christmas mini session (shorter version of a portrait session, usually themed), I knew I wanted to find a Christmas tree farm for my location. I browsed around online and found Dewberry Farm. It seemed like the perfect fit and the owners said it was okay with them.

So, Sunday I loaded up Crush (my Jeep) with my little rolling cart, some Christmas decorations and my camera gear and headed over to Dewberry Farm. When I arrived, I was a bit overwhelmed by the whole place. It's huge! I'd seen it from the road several times, but had never actually stopped in to take a look around. 

Once I unloaded all my gear, I found a nice man who was driving the hay ride tours and he offered to give me a ride back to the Christmas trees. I was sure appreciative, because it would've been a long walk to the trees. I set up my equipment and had a few scenes ready for my clients. Then we had fun making some beautiful Christmas portraits. I'll post more photos later, but here are a few previews.

After my mini sessions were over. I grabbed a cold glass of lemonade and took my time checking out the rest of Dewberry Farm. If I had kids, I would definitely take them to visit.

There are tons of things to do, as you can see from the photos. In addition to what I visited, there were a lot of other things for kids to have fun doing too. I can't think of the best word to describe it, but I guess it's kind of like a giant playground. It has rope swings, zip lines, peddle cars with a track and some giant trampolines. There are farm animals to see and pig races to watch. Sometimes they have pony rides too.

And don't worry about packing a lunch. They have all kinds of food and drinks including barbecue, pizza, kettle corn, ice cream and old-fashioned sodas.

If you're in Houston or nearby and want a little daycation with your kids, check out Dewberry Farm!
